Manitoba Fishing Rules
Licences are sold at most hardware and sporting goods stores, fishing centres and lodges. Not all vendors carry non-resident licences and many do not have licences during winter. Licences may also be bought by mail.
· Canadian Resident Conservation: $9.00, Regular $15.00
· Manitoba Resident Senior Conservation: $6.00
· Non-resident Conservation: $22.00, Regular $40.00
Licenses are valid from May 1, 2000 until and including April 30, 2001, but are not valid until they are signed. Licenses are not transferable or refundable. If a licence is lost another must be purchased. All persons, except those exempted below, who engage in angling, dip netting, seining, minnow trapping, spear fishing, and bow fishing, must have a Manitoba Angling Licence on their person. The conservation licence entitles the holder to reduced catch limits. A Manitoba Resident Seniors Conservation Licence is for Manitoba seniors (65 and over) resident in Manitoba for over 6 months and is valid for a conservation limit of fish. Manitoba seniors wanting a regular limit of fish must buy a regular resident licence. Residents under 16, non-residents under 16 fishing with a licence holder, status Indians do not need a license.
National Parks
Licences for fishing in our National Parks can be purchased at park information centres, administration, campgrounds, wardens offices and some fishing shops. The cost is $13 per year, or $6 for a seven day permit for all persons
